I did, I've also read Gtk--, and the only thing I can say is that it is not
easily understood by me (you know C++ is not one of my strong points), I
must to devote very much time just to understand how Gtk-- works, and
looking at main.cc and object.cc I clearly can not understand what a
Gtk_Class_Proxy_Objec is.
I've read also VDK (very similar problem to Gtk--) it is also C++, it uses
templates (for something like properties, btw I don't like templates), and
the worst thing I dislike more is that they use signal the same way you do
in C, you must define a signal table that a preprocesor converts to
signal_connect calls (or very similiar), so for me is clearly somthing I
don't want to follow.
What I need essentially is a way to extend the signal mechanism in Gtk
without using signal_connect, or without the overhead of the signal_connect
mechanism, I need a way to pass ALL GTK SIGNALS to my own objects, think
for a while that If I have a form with let say 200 controls and I want to
be able to process some of the signals in an OO way without knowing in
advance what signals to call, I must to ask Gtk for a signal_connect for
all 200 controls for all Gtk signals (a medium of 60 for object), that's
about 12000 signal_connect calls, an overhead I want to elude.
Btw thanks for the info and for taking your time to answer me.
Bye.... for now.
